I've seen them at Dick's Sporting Goods in Vestal and I'm pretty sure you can get them at Wildmans Bait Shop in Ithaca (right on the canal). I've tried them on Erie for eyes, but they don't work very well. I don't think the action is tight enough. I'd stick with Stingers for eyes and use the Suttons for lakers. Good Fishing, Sluggo

our local baitshop sells suttons...at least last yr did...don't know exactly which numbers but if you give me a list of numbers i can buy the ones he has and send them to you....steve
LAST EDITED ON Apr-18-01 AT 05:12AM (CST)[p]I also use them for fishing lakers. I ordered some online last spring from PeacePipe Fishing Outfitters and was very happy with their service and delivery time. Web address is www.fish307.com/
they are also sold in Grand Marais MN.

I use them almost exclusively under the ice. They are awesome on Lake of the Woods for walleyes. Can't remember the exact model but they're silver front and brass back.
I haven't used them much in the summer. They are light and I have a hard time keeping them vertical in the lightest of winds. I know if I could overcome that they would work. Don't have a idea if they work behind downriggers.
Good Luck.

If you are going up U.S. 53 to I Falls and pass thyrough Orr, MN stop at Anderson's Bait and tackle. That is where we get ours.
THANKS CHRIS, I WILL CHECK WILDMANS OUT THE NEXT TIME I GO TO SEE MY SON AT ITHACA COLLEGE,HE IS A SOPH.AND PLAYS FOOTBALL FOR THE BOMBERS. THANKS AGAIN
Under the ice? How? I am used to spoons that are heavy like cleo's, they are my favorite but would be interested in how to use suttons....thanks jk
I mostly fish Lake of the Woods, which is a stained water lake. My personal preference is to use a wide, light flutter spoon in water like that. Sutton's work great up here in 10 - 14 ft of water. Tip it with a minnow head. In clear water I put on something a little narrower and heavier. For some reason it seems to work a little better.
